He raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a smirk. “Must be nice to have connections that pull strings for you.”
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Jasper’s jealousy was as transparent as ever. “As F told you before, I believe in earning my accomplishments through hard work. Not my fault you can’t keep up.”
His smirk turned into a scowl. “Sure, sure. Some people just have a knack for that sort of thing.”
